Salem Keats has a plan.
Finish her studies at Loyola as quickly as possible, prove to the
Louisiana Child Custody Division that she has what it takes to care for
her twin siblings Jasper and Margaret, and envelope herself in the
strains of music that she creates with her violin. Then her lawyer
delivers a 1, 2 punch by telling her that it would be best if she could
show the judge that she is in a stable relationship.

Wyatt Crane
has watched the girl who lives across the street for two years. When
Salem gave him the cold-shoulder her first day in the neighborhood, he
thought that would be enough to put him off her. Instead, when Salem
shows up asking for his help it’s all he can do to remain aloof. One
look into her tired eyes though, and he knows that this is the beginning
of his end.

Brantley Howard spent a full year living under the
same roof with Salem when they were teenagers. He knows her better than
anyone else, and while Salem has placed him firmly within the friend
zone, he longs to be all she will ever need. He’ll do whatever it takes.

When she’s forced to choose, what choice will Salem make?

Adriane is a mother and a writer who resides in Southeast Virginia. She
enjoys music, writing, and snuggling up with a good book. Walking Away
is her first self published work, and she is also working on writing her
first full length novel. If you can't find her playing around on
Facebook (which is unlikely), you can certainly find her at either her
son's school or one of his Tae Kwon Do lessons.
